General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Height of a person is genetically determined and difficult to increase with medicines especially when you are reached your end stage of growth period. Drugs like gloxi doesn’t increase height. The only option is orthopedic surgery and it is highly expensive and you will be on cast for almost a year.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
